A section of Arsenal fans on Twitter reacted to Nuno Tavares’ performance during the 2-2 friendly draw at Rangers on Saturday afternoon.
The Portuguese is the club’s only signing of the transfer window, and he made his non-competitive debut at the Ibrox Stadium.
The left-back impressed with the attacking facet of his game, grabbing the equaliser for the Gunners (1-1) in the first half.
He took advantage of poor control from James Tavernier and showed good composure to get into the box before unleashing a right-footed shot from a tight angle.
In his presentation interview, Tavares highlighted that he can shoot with his weaker right foot, and some fans pointed out the same after he scored.
Others were pleased with the goal from the 21-year-old, which was rather unexpected.
Twitter reactions:
Nuno Tavares specifically mentioned his right foot in his interview.
He wasn't joking.
